Nationals drop sixth straight: Braves 8-4 over Nats in first of three in Turner Field

5. Doug Fister's Turn in Turner Field: Doug Fister got off to a rough start last time out. He gave up a leadoff home run by St. Louis Cardinals' third baseman Matt Carpenter on a 2-2 fastball up high in the zone in the first at bat of his start last Wednesday in the nation's capital. Cards' second baseman Kolten Wong hit an 86 mph 1-2 fastball out to right in the second for a two-run home run and Matt Adams doubled to drive in a run in the top of the third before an error by Ryan Zimmerman at first let another run in for a 5-0 lead.
